If you don't start orca is speakup speaking?
Yes, Speakup speaks under the text console (CTRL+ALT+F1 etc). Orca
does not speak under the MATE desktop.
It looks like it's the pulse audio bug back again.
Yes that is my conclusion also. I thought that this particular bug had
been squashed years ago
Sadly, this bug is still relevent.
Basically, if orca is speaking, speakup won't speak!!! :)
The only way i have managed to achieve is by setting speechd.conf to
use ALSA, but I do not want to have to reset speechd.conf each time I
want to s between the two Screen Readers. Is there a better way?
Not that I know of.
